“Yep, I’m one of those folks that worked their way through school. Had one full time and two part time jobs. During the summer I worked construction.”
My story is similar to your story. I took out a loan that did have subsidized interest for my final 3 semesters (I was working full time as an engineer by then ... had 18 credits left to take).
A liberal freak (someone I grew up with) once called me out on that even though I admitted to it ... I really wish I didn’t take that loan as I could have paid it all myself. I pointed out how he somehow was eligible for grants and loans at least five times throughout his adult life yet never finished so much as a semester. These college programs certainly subsidize the worthless anymore. There are no balances against the checks they write out.
Interesting side-story on that freak ... he was a constant leech among my circle of friends back then ... remained that way to this day from what I understand. He was arrested on several counts of kiddie porn a few years ago ... I guess that’s a merit badge among that type of scum. I hope he enjoyed jail!!!
Great story.
